Is this vulnerability remotely exploitable over the internet?

Yes, if an attacker can position themselves on, or influence, the network path between the portal and its backend services (for example, via compromised routers, malicious Wi-Fi access points, or upstream network control), they can potentially intercept and manipulate TLS traffic because certificate validation is disabled.

What level of access does an attacker need to abuse this flaw?

The attacker typically needs network-level access or control over an upstream network segment or proxy. They do not need credentials to the application itself, but must be able to present a rogue TLS endpoint or manipulate routing so that portal traffic reaches their server.

What is the safest general fix pattern for this issue?

The most robust fix is to re-enable strict TLS verification by removing any flags that disable certificate checks and ensuring that all outbound HTTPS requests validate both the certificate chain and the server hostname against a trusted CA store. Where internal services use private CAs, those CAs should be properly installed and managed rather than bypassing validation.
